Order Parameters and Color-Flavor Center Symmetry in QCD

Common lore suggests that N-color QCD with massive quarks has no useful order parameters that can be nontrivial at zero baryon density. However, such order parameters do exist when there are n(f) quark flavors with a common mass and d equivalent to gcd(n(f), N) > 1. These theories have a Z(d) col...
